Well-being appropriately stressed at Wellness Fair
by
SARAH FELi CI CHIA
Staff Writer
The fifth annual Wellness Fair
kicked off in the Mccann Cen-
ter on Friday, September 20 at
noon and as Program Chair and
Director of the Counseling Cen-
ter, Roberta Staples said it was
all about people looking afte-r
their own well-being.
The fair's organization relied
on the cooperation of many de-
partments including Student
Affairs,
Health Services, Human
Resources and numerous vol-
unteers from the community.
The booths and health experts
varied widely. From disease
prevention to stress reduction,
there were few health and
wellness avenues missing.
Through the Dutchess County
Council on Alcoholism and
Chemical Dependency, Inc., a
representative from SmokeFree
Dutchess was in attendance.
Aside from handing out brq-
chures on the dangers of smok-
ing, the representative urged
students to start a campus coa-
lition: Students in College
Against Tobacco, with the goal
of deterring smoking. A stag-
gering statistic in a pamphlet
states that in Dutchess County,
30 teen-agers start smoking
each day and ten will die early
as a resuh.
Senior Anne Kearns, who has
attended and received a free
massage all four years said she
almost fell asleep during her
massage by Cathy Stubbs, a li-
censed massage therapist and
registered nurse.
Other businesses like Sun City
Tanning and vendors with free
samples of new food products
hoped to ignite fresh interest in
their businesses. All Sport
Health and Fitness offers
Pilates, water aerobics and
cardio kickboxing, and had a
contest for people to win a free
three- month membership.
Director of Technology Train-
ing Tina Royal attended the fair
and said that there was great
diversity and some people
Exhl

Wellness Fair
come back every year.
DetlefWolf, a licensed acupunc-
turist, attended for his third year,
and said even if it does not stimu-
late much new business for
him,
he enjoys being a part of the fair.
"It is worth coming back to the
Wellness Fair each year just to in-
form people. If they know what acu-
puncture can do and the kind of
benefit without Western medi-
cine," said Wolf.
One of the less traditional themes
presented at the fair a Feng Shui
booth. Cindy Greer, founder and
president of Natural Forces, is a
specialist on this Chinese art of
placing furniture and other materi-
als in a way that helps someone,
as she said, "Experience a more
balanced and positive life."
Greer will possibly be back to
Marist to hold workshops for pro-
moting Feng Shui in dorm rooms.
Representatives of the New York
State Police, Troop K, were also on
hand along with other local law
enforcement and protection agen-
cies. Trooper Kimberly Campos of-
fered information about criteria re-
quired and the services provided
to the public by state troopers. She
also encouraged people to try on a
pair
of
goggles to
experience
the vision
impainnent
of some-
one with a

Trooper
Jeffery
Galm and
his
K-9
partner at-
tracted many animal lovers. The
police dog is named Cotter, for John
Cotter, an investigator who was
killed in the line of duty over 30
years ago. Cotter and Galm work
to detect and seize narcotics, along
with tracking missing persons.
From a local mental health center
with brochures on suicide, depres-
sion, trauma, and overcoming ad-
diction to laser eye surgery infor-
mation, the variety of expertise
seemed endless. Transfer student
Gina D' Angelo said, "It's informa-
tive, I got a lot of information about
Lyme disease, mental health, alco-
holism, and of course safe sex.

made an appearance with a dem-
onstration of the many "sword
fighting" style techniques. "It was
our fourth year [ at the fair], it gives
the college a chance to see what
we do," said club president Brian
Sands.
From the classic to the nontradi-
tional methods of staying
·healthy
and living a healthful lifestyle, the
interactive fair's focus on health
and safety was overall well-re-
ceived by both faculty and stu-
dents.

A student was left
scratching
their

how a scratch appeared on their
car. The student noticed the
scratch on the 1993 white Honda
after coming back from class in the
Beck parking lot. The scratch is
thought to have been produced by
a key, but the scratcher is unkown.

at about 12:25 a.m. The assailant

At about 12:40 a.m., a student was
spotted by the watchful eye of se-
curity walking through the tunnel
and heading towards the river with
a backpack. He was with a group
of three other students, and due to
a suspicions of alcohol, security
performed a search of the backpack
to find a bevy of tasty beverages.
Six bottles of Bacardi Silver, 7
bottles of Mike's Hard Lemonade,
8 cans of Coors Light and a partial
bottle o:f Southern Comfort were
confiscated.

A small gathering outside of
Marion Hall was broken up by se-
curity after a suspicion of alcohol
at about 11 :00 p.m. By the time
sei;urtty joined the party,
it ap-
peared as though some of the stu-
dents were able to dump out their
alcoholic beverages. Six of the 12
students were found with alcohol,
while the others just had good ol'
fashioned soda pop.

Perhaps inspired by an altercation
in Champagrtat l~t week,twonon-
Marist students jumped an off-
campus Marist student outside of
G-block in Gartland Commons at
about
1: 14
a.m. The off-campus
student apparently threw a stone
at another group of people, which
included the other two combatants,
to get their attention. The two
people involved in the altercation
were not amused and suspected
malicious intent. The gloves came
off, and the punches were flying
as a brouhaha broke ensued. The
off-campus student suffered a bro-
ken nose in the melee, while the
non-students were arrested by
Town of Poughkeepsie Police.

AAA Taxicab Services has appar-

against underage drinking on cam-

dent outside of the Old

carrying with him a freshly filled

of what the student had with
him,
and this led to the confiscation of
the alcohol.

As the end of the first month of
school approaches, students have
gotten used to spending their
Marist Money and Thrifty Cash,
but how much do they actually
have left?
That question can easily be an-
swered. Marist Money balances
are now available to students
online. From the dorm room, day
or night, or during library or com-
puter- lab hours, any student with
access to a computer and the
Internet can follow these simple
guidelines necessary to find their
account information. Freshman
Cassi Matos comments, "It is nice
to see how much money I have left
without having to leave my room.
It will make it easier to keep track
of my money and manage it bet-
ter."
First, log on to
~.uiarisi.'edui
maristmoney/. On the left-hand
side of
the
screen, click on "Marist
Money Statement." After accept-
ing
the agreement to protect Marist
account numbers and passwords,
a
to enter the K-account user name
and password will appear.
Both Marist Money and Thrifty
Cash plans are displayed
,
show-
ing the original deposit into the
account
,
the total spend on pur-
chases, as well as the current bal-
ance. While the balances are up-
dated weekly
,
there is no break-
down of where and when the
money was spent.
"I'm glad that it is so easy to ob-
tain my account balance and I can
see how much I've spent, but I
think
it would be
real
helpful to have
a breakdown of expenses," said
Courtney Kretz, freshman. "Espe-
cially for students who are prone
to over spending."
Cassi Matos, freshman, agrees.
"It's nice to be able to see how
much money I have left without
having to leave my room."

Helicopter rides bring students to new heights
by JAMIE WAJDOWICZ
Stqff Writer
Have you ever dreamed about
getting out of bed one night, and
flying through the night sky to ex-
plore our campus in your pajamas?
On
Friday, September 20 students
were given the opportunity to see
a part of the Hudson Valley region
from a new perspective.
The U.S. Marines came to the
Marist campus to give free helicop-
ter rides to students and distribute
information on some of the vari-
ous Marine programs.
"It was a real thrill, the pilot would
dip it
,
she freaked us out," said
senior Liz Sovern. "I had no idea
half the stuff around here existed.
The mental hospital looked really
pretty from above." Junior Kelly
Dooley agreed and said, "The he-
licopter ride was
fun
and is an op-
portunity many people do not get
to experience."
This was not the first time lleli-
copter rides were offered at Marist,
but last year the weather was poor
and may be
deterred
the number
of student who intended to par-
ticipate.
"I wanted to go last year, but it
was raining before I got down
here," said student Kimberly
Cuccia before her ride. Afterwards
Cuccia said, "This was a great ex-
perience, one that I will never for-
get. I can't wait to do it again in
April!"
Captain Christopher Beasley and
Lieutenant Balbo helped to sup-
port the program, along with heli-
copter pilot Mindy Rizer. The
event, which was scheduled to
take place near the Mccann Cen-
ter,
had to be moved down by the
boathouses because of the
Wellness Fair. A fire engine was at
the scene to make students feel
more comfortable, and just in case
any unforeseen complications oc-
curred.
"We hope to get the word out

about these Marine Officer Pro-
grams," said Beasley referring to
training programs like pilot les-
sons and judge advocate courses.
The Marines bring their program
to
schools across the United
States to encourage students to
enlist. In the upstate New York re-
gion they also visit the campuses
of Colgate University and
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
"We requested permission to do
this on campus and it's a good
opportunity. For us, there is no
money, no payment involved," said
Beasley.
Cpt. Beasley said they only hope
to get the word out about Marine
Officer Programs. Within the last
year, five Marist students have
enlisted in the Marines, some of
which had come up and asked him
about the programs and became
interested.
.
"Through the generosity of the
local Marines, I was able to take
part in what few have ever experi-
enced," said Junior Joe Annieri.
The Marines will be visiting the
Marist campus again on Friday,
October 12 this time bringing only
the pull-up bar challenge

Abroad students react to Sept. 11 anniversary
by STACEY CASWELL
Staff Writer
With the passing of the one-year
anniversary of the terrorist attacks
on Sept.
11
th
having only just
elapsed, the memorial embers of the
disaster still glare with the force of
a raging fire in the minds of not
only United States citizens, but
those worldwide.
In
Madrid, the City Hall organized
a commemoration banner that was
placed in a heavily populated plaza
where people could sign notes of
consolation to the victims and sur-
vivors of the attacks. The banner
was later sent to New York City.
However it seems that other stu-
dents studying abroad in Spain
also felt as McCaig did, regardless
of the planned events which were
geared towards helping to aid in
the grieving process that many are
experiencing.
occurred when radical Muslims
met to celebrate in North London
at the Finsbury Park Mosque.
"I was actually a little afraid about
being here because being an Ameri-
can in a foreign country you tend
to be a target, and I didn't know
how people were going to react and
if they would feel happy or sad
about it," Corredine said. "But it
turned out that people were genu-
inely concerned and moved by it.
It was in the papers and everything,
which made me see that it was not
just viewed as an American trag-
edy, but one that was worldwide,"
said Kerry Corredine, a student
studying abroad for the year.

People in more than 80 countries
participated in international com-
memorations honoring those that
perished as a result of the destruc-
tive suicide missions at the Penta-
gon, Pittsburgh and the Twin Tow-
ers in New York City.
"I guess I just felt left out, espe-
cil\lly in regards to the ceremonies
that were occurring in the US," said
Tim Nolan, a junior, who is also liv-
ing in Madrid. "I wasn't

Marist students that have trav-

comfort of their own home.
"I
just felt that I was missing out
on part of the remembrance. The
only way I felt connected was read-
ing the newspapers," Kelly
McCaig, a junior, studying abroad
for a semester
in Madrid, Spain. "I
felt disconnected from everything
that was occurring at both my
home, with my family, and at col-
lege with my friends, in regards to
the ceremonies that were being

Marist lacks in ethnic diversity
by JACKIE STASIUK
Staff Writer
"Are you white? Are you living
comfortably in the middle class?
Are you Catholic? Then come to
Marist College. It's for you. It's
an institution of homogenous
people!"
Perhaps, that should be the new
ad for the Marist Admissions
website. I know it sounds awfully
harsh, but consider it. Everyone
you pass in route to class prob-
ably looks just like you. They prob-
ably dress like you. They prob-
ably
talk
like you (being that most
of them come from Upstate New
York, Long Island, Connecticut and
New Jersey). And if you do have
the opportunity to pass someone
of a different ethnicity, consider
yourself lucky. It's not everyday
that you see someone of
different
ethnicity on campus.
Where are the rest of the people?
Where do they go to school? It's
certain they do not go to Marist
College.
I attended high school in West
Orange, New Jersey where the to-
tal school population was approxi-
mately 1600 students. My gradu-
ating class was 376. The minori-
ties, African Americans, Hispanics
and Asians, outnumbered the
white students. It was one of those
schools were you could see some-
one new everyday. And it wasn't
just someone new. It was some-
one of a different background,
heritage
and religion. It kept
things interesting when high
school began to become repeti-
tive.
Being a part of a school were the
student population was extraordi-
narily diverse taught me innumer-
able valuable lessons. But, per-
haps the most prominent lesson I
learned from West Orange High
School was tolerance and appre-
ciation of others. All of the stu-
dents that graduated from my high
school received two educations:
one, obviously in academics, but
another in cultural diversity. There
is a world of people out there and
they do not all come from the same
place as you. Accept the differ-
ences and embrace them; learn
from them.
I feel extremely fortunate to have
received
such
an
education. How-
ever, coming to Marist has made
me realize
that
not everyone re-
ceived this invaluable education.
And perhaps the people that really
missed out are the administrators
of this institution.
As an institution of higher learn-
ing it is the duty of this college to
provide its students with the best
quality education it can provide.
Education is not just academics.
Students must be knowledgeable
of the world around them.
Marist College is a sheltered cam-
pus. The lack of diversity here
is
alarming. I am frankly becoming
bored with seeing the same generic
mold of people. It's fascinating to
learn about other cultures and other
ways oflife. However, it's not learn-
ing this information out of a text-
book that makes the difference in
people. It's learning it from your
peers. It's learning it through ob-
servation.
For those of you who did not
graduate from high schools that
were diverse, it's unfortunate that
Marist College does not provide
that
type
of-environment. Experi-
ence people of other
cultures
and
learn to appreciate them through
tolerance. In a world today that
is
doomed by hatred and fighting,
perhaps tolerance could be the
key.
Variety is the spice oflife.
High national rankings lead
to
higher academic standards
by TIM DUGUAY
Staff Writer
Marist College has recently been
ranked in the top 20 in academics
within schools of the Northeast.
In
fact, according to Tim Massie,
from the Public Affairs office at
Marist, they were ranked 18th out
of 165 in schools within its cat-
egory of private colleges. This is a
major change from when I was a
freshman, where you would be ac-
cepted with a 1050 on your SATs
and have a B average. It now
seems like Marist would be scar-
ing away potentially promising stu-
dents with their new, higher aca-
demic standards.
Another part of me
thinks
that it
is good that Marist is improving
thek standards and noticing that
students coming into college are
of a newer, more motivated breed.
With the school growing in many
different
ways, I
think
that it would
be wrong to let anything less than
the brightest into the school. In
an academic setting, it is best to
have students who are motivated
to leam, and with high academic
standards needed to get into this
school, I think it is a step in the
right direction.
It seems a little disheartening
that less emphasis is being put on
being a well-rounded student. I
was lJ.).ways U\\lgh.t in order to get
the most out of college; a social
life needs
to
be included in the aca-
demic environment?
I propose the solution that if
Marist is going to raise the aca-
demic standards of the school,
they will also need to raise the
standards for activities partici-
pated in while in high school. This
could include: sports, community
service, National Honor Society,
etc. I can tell you from personal
experience that I did
.not
have the
best SAT scores, but I was in-
volved in high school, and that is
what earned me a spot where I am
today.
College is becoming too much of
a place where high school students
are afraid to apply. It has parents
and students taking a step back
from taking tours and scouting out
potential schools, and instead
makes them wonder, is my child
good enough for this school's stan-
dards?
Again I am not saying that Marist
·
needs to take students with a 75
average throughout high school
and 850 on their SATs. All that I
am suggesting is that college is not
only classes but also an experience.
So the next time admissions is won-
dering
ff
they should choose a stu-
dent with 1400 on their SATs and a
98 average or a student with 1150
on their SATs, an 85 average, and
participated in several activities
within their high school, think hard
about who is going to contribute
more to making the campus a bet-
ter place to work and live. I'd
choose the latter.

This is a reply to last week's Opin-
ion Article written by Jackie
Stasiuk:
I strongly feel that your opinion
article was extremely out ofline. For,
another RA, a peer if you will, to
write something that harsh about
your fellow RA is absolutely ridicu-
lous. I just happened to have one
of those RA's last year as a fresh-
man and not only was he a role
model for all of us and someone
who set down the law but he also
befriended all of us and was some-
one we could look to for help or
advise.
Most anyone else would jump
at the opportunity to win
$
I 00 to
race naked across the green. Ev-
eryone had their laugh and found
it amusing. There is absolutely no
reason to suggest that they get
punished. There is also no reason
to make this school set stricter and
more conservative rules and regu-
lations then it already has. If any-
one should be punished it should
be you for bad mouthing your fel-
low RA in the school newspaper.
That is definitely weak.
Before you go judging the char-
acter of these "Free Bird" RA's
maybe you should check out how
they actually do their job. Some of
them might be actually really good
at what they do.

Elections for Chancellor_- have global impact
Outcome may determine Middle East involvement
by Scott
Perrell
Staff Writer
For having once been con-
sidered an important staple in the
NATO alliance, and among the
most robust economies in the
worid; things are now changing in
Germany.
Several political nightmares have
hit German Chancellor Gerhard
Schroeder's Social Democrat party
in recent weeks. A
weakened
economy, foreign policy blunders,
domestic disagreement over the
Iraq
issue,
and a very close elec-
tion could spell big trouble for Left-
ists
in Berlin.
Schroeder broke a major cam-
paign promise for this week's elec-
tion. Devastating unemployment
has rocked the country, and
Schroeder's Social Democrats
failed to meet their goal of reduc-
ing the jobless ranks.
Some have drawn comparisons
to the brutal Japanese fiscal situa-
tion. Despite their victory in the
polls this week, one must wonder
if the re-elected government can
really solve the problem,
and
if they
cannot not, how much support will
the conservative opposition gain.
The key for Schroeder's legisla-
tive agenda has to be a rekindling
of the coali-
tion between
his
Social
Democrats
and
the
Greens, who
had
their
best sho~ing
m German
history this
week.
Should that
agreement be
renewed,
Schroeder's
coalition
would have
an eleven-
seat majority
over elements
of the right
(led by Chan-
cellor hopeful Edmond Stoiber).
Before anything can get done, the
Chancellor must decide how much
power
to give
the Greens -
who re-
ceived
nearly
9%
of
the
vote -
in
his cabinet,
if
any
at
all.

Standards should not be different
by JAMES J. SKEGGS
Opinions Editor
There have been articles pub-
lished recently, implicating that at
least seven New York Met base-
ball players smoked marijuana this
season. Well this must be the end
of the word and it's obviously
worth publishing and being aired
on Sportscenter, right?
...
I
say
definitely not!
Nobody should care whether or
not these professional athletes
smoke certain stubstances, either
on or off the field. They are regu-
lar people just like you and me,
they're not your role models, so
can do whatever it is that they
want to do: it's their life.
We just pay money to see them
play baseball. I want to see them
hit homeruns and make spectacu-
lar divmg catches. I don't want to
know if they get high, or are at-
tracted to the same sex, and in fact
partake in an intricate study ofthe
layout of their dining room.
Who cares if Mike Piazza is gay,
I certainly don't. Good for him,
just remind me to walk away ifhe
puts his
arm
around me at the bar
and gives me a wink. A person's
personal life has nothing to do with
me and it is certainly not worthy
of being published in any form of
print media. Write about things
they do for the community or even
if they get arrested, but don't lec-
ture me on their lifestyle.
If
these guys want to get 'el-
evated to new levels' on their own
time, then I say go for it. Pictures
were recently published of pitcher
Grant Roberts, smoking out of a
bong ( a device used to smoke mari-
juana to all who do not know).
The pictures were taken when he
was 21 years old and playing base-
ball in the minor leagues. Now let
me ask you how these pictures are
relevant to his professional career
at the present time, four years later.
He was still a kid then. the same
age as many of the students here
at Marist, and he was hanging out
with his friends. I don't think that
it holds any weight at all four years
later, especially when it's his own
personal business.
Some people raise the question
of these athletes being role models
for young children. Yet, these were
kids who grew up in our commer-
cialized society and thus became a
product ofit. They didn't have any
part in creating this society; they
were simply born into it just like
you and me. Society taught them
that playing in the Major leagues
was a dream worthy of chasing;and
that if they were really lucky then
they might one day be able to call
themselves
professional
ballplayers.
So we raise them to dream of mak-
ing it big, then when they get close
to being good enough these cor-
porate teams reel them in like fish
with hundred dollar bills at the ends
of their hook as bait. Most young
people could not
turn
offers like
this down, so they accept them and
become professional athletes and
begin getting paid to perform.
My question is where along the
line did they sign something say-
ing that they now forfeit their rights
to being a human being.
They
didn't ask to be that talented and
they shouldn't have to give up
being normal.
People
pay to watch
them play a game that they are re-
ally good at and that is where it
should stop. They don't owe the
public anything; especially having
to hold themselves to being per-
fect, model citizens.
If
you don't like what they do on
their own time then don't buy a
ticket pal, stay home and watch the
Home shopping network. But wait,
Martha Stewart is a crook, Enron
executives are hustlers, and the
President cheats on his wife ... so
where's your role model located
now.
The bottom line is that if you
want you're kids to have a role
model, then look no further than in
your bathroom mirror. Teach them
to be a fan of the sport and to root
their favorite player on when he's
actually playing the game. Then
when they're at home they should
try and model their lives
after
mom
and dad. Let the baseball players
play their game and either like it or
don't like it, just don't waste my
time writing about Met's smoking
weed. Be a real sport's writers and
tell me about hitting slumps,
homeruns, pennant chases, and
just let me be a fan. not a judge and
ajury.

But
if the conservatives can rally
the public to Bush's side, a messy
situation might develop in Ger-
many.
Meanwhile, Bush will continue to
seek the support of the German
military in the Gulf, probably esca-
lating the German debate over
Iraq.
But what about the future?
America is mighty angry about the
"Hitler" comment.
If
the military
effort in
Iraq
were a

sitting out would hurt
relations
even more. In Bush's
eyes, the
wrong man was elected, the
wrong
policy stance is being
advocated,
and the wrong rhetoric
is .coming .
from the German foreign ministry.
The conservatives in Germany are
worried that US-German relations
are at their worst in 50 years. And
they're right. Will Schroeder do
something, or has America become
that unimportant to him?

Rusted Root set to rock out Marist
by ALLISON KELLER
A&EEditor
After over a decade of playing
truly original and creative music,
Rusted Root is invading the Marist
campus.
Budding in 1990 and finally
blooming in 1992, Rusted Root
made their start like any other band.
Michael Glabicki, Jenn Wertz, Liz
Berlin, Jim Donovan, Patrick
Norman, and John Buynak started
out playing for small venues of 100
to 200 people.
"It was a great experience," said
Professor Brad Freeman. '"People
were looking to buy our CDs. We
didn't even have a CD out."
Sum
41.
Through the years, since their
conception, Rusted Root has
evolved as a band.
"They have remained somewhat
true to
their
origi-
n a
1
sound,
j us t
more
r e -
fined,"
says
Free-
man.
On this album, Rusted definately
has a new sound. Unlike previous
albums, "Welcome To My Party"
is colllf)letely lacking drums. How-
ever, a fresh new techno sound
or drastic their music changes,
there is one thing that remains the
same about the rock icon: they're
unstoppable live show presence.
"They have remained, through-
out the
passed
decade,
as one
of the
top live
bands
in the
coun-

After a year hiatus, Rusted
Root is back and better
than

With a strong fan base, it can
orily be expected that Rusted
Root will be making music for a
long time to come.
"A song is an organism that
has a history and has different
meanings to many different
people," says Rusted Root lead
singer, Michael Glabicki, as
quoted
on
www.islandrecords.com "Those
people attach themselves to this
organism and because of that,
it's a ritual, a way to jointly go
places."
Freeman, a current Professor at
Marist College, was with the band
when they were just getting
started. To assist the band on their
way th stardom, Freeman started a
small independent label called
"Blue Duck Records," so Rusted
Root could supply the demand for

Fligllt Sclloo/
soars again
by ERIK.VINCELETTE
Stq/f Writer
To take on the task of writing
about an increasingly popular
band on campus, Flight School, one
has to start by saying
"wow!"
They are just that good. A Mod-
em Day Beatles
...
with a kick.
The band, made up of members
Steve Black, Travis Wmkley, Jeff
Bemer, Dave Geschwendt, and
Marc Capaldo, are soon to become
the band to see in the area. They
have already played several shows
this year. They were back in action
again on Sunday night, taking part
of the WMCR Marist Radio spon-
sored show in the Cabaret. This
performance was amazing, to say
the least. Anyone who found them-
selves among the unlucky to have
missed such an amazing perfor-
mance should be ashamed. But re-
lax, Flight School will play again
Wednesday night at the Croft Cor-
ner Cafe.
This highly entertaining, de-
voted, and musically talented
group of Marist students is well
on the way to stardom. The band
play cover songs like they have
never heard before. Stunningly
accurate,
Flight School
adds a
twist of personal influence. They
also have a wide selection of origi-
nal songs that they play through-
out their never ending tour of
Poughkeepsie and surrounding
areas.
_
A band like this has never been
heard before. With the unprec-
edented arrangement of four
gui-
tar players,
Flight School
makes
music so pleasing to the ear that it
is physically impossible to keep
away once one has heard them.
Add to that a keyboard, a har-
monica, a drummer, who could
show up the music fields finest, and
a lead
singer,
that would give
Steven Tyler a run for the money,
and there it is: the five-member
.
band ofFlight School. Yes, it is an
awful lot for only five members to
do, but this is not ordinary group.
This is the most dedicated band
that one will ever have the plea-
sure to follow or to come in con-
tact. When they are not studying,
they are practicing. When they are
not practicing, they are perform-
ing one of there many shows.
The Band even has a website
(www.flightschoolmusic.com) and
music loaded onto mp3.com for the
listener's enjoyment. On their site;
one can download some of their
music, see pictures, biographies,
and so much more. There are links,
and they even have a page for up-
coming gigs they are playing with
directions to the venue. So jump
on the net and check out the
website. The bandwagon is filling
up with every show they perform.
So; come see a Flight School Show.
they
started with."
Rusted Root has become an
American fixture throughout pop-
culture. Their song, "Send Me On
My Way," can be heard on movie
soundtracks such as
Ice Age and
Twister.
However, they have not
failed to recognize the importance
of having a good sound.

'02 Summer blockbusters sizzle
by
PAULLUKASON
A&E Contributor
Summer movies are a time of
year that I usually look forward to.
The season usually kicks off offi-
cially Memorial Day weekend.
This year, however, it started a little
earlier with
Spidennan
on May 3.
I'll be the first to admit that
I'm a movie nerd. I have been fol-
lowing the production status of
Spidemran
since its conception.
Since cult master Sam Raimi and
Tobey Maguire were attached to
the project, I have followed it even
more intently. The asinine Daivd
Koepp adapted
·
Spiderman
from
the Stan Lee original comic book.
Koepp has a tendency to butcher
books and other written works. He
does butcher the comic book some-
what, however, he seems to make
the right adjustments in the right
places to make the story more in-
teresting and exciting. This may
be the picture he redeems himself
with. Maguire is the perfect fit for
Peter Parker .. All those doubters
out there can eat their own words.
Kirsten Dunst is her typical dunce
self as Mary Jane. Willwn Dafoe
lends just enough charisma to the
Green Goblin to make him work.
This is the picture that shows the
rest of the world that Raimi is the
real deal and a wonderful director.
Overall, this is what fans of
Spidenndn
have been waiting for.
Also, look for a cameo by the great-
est B-movie actor of all time, Bruce
Campbell.
Grade:A-
1
also had the
pleasure
of
watching
Undercover Brother,
a
comedy that most of America was
unable to see because they were
sick that day. Typecast Eddie Grif-
fin plays our hero, Undercover
Brother. The movie plays on pop-
culture wit and falls heavily on rac-
ist jokes that are quite funny and
don't seem to nudge people the
wrong way. Look for equal oppor-
tunity employers in the last pos-
sible place you would find one.

solutely hysterical movie when it
comes to video.
It

The dynamite duo of Tom Hanks

talent to the screen. The film is the
sophomore effort of Sam Mendes,
whose
previous
film was
American
Beauty.
It is usually difficult to
notice direction in a movie, but this
is an exception. Mendes' direction
is one the best I have seen in a
long time. For only being his sec-
ond movie, he certainly has a.great
deal of understanding and talent
for film. LPok for
Road to Perdi-
tion
to almost certainly sweep the
Oscars come next year. For once,
this is a deserving film of such a
high achievement.
Grade:A-
This next film was my favorite
of the summer,
Minority Report.
The movie stars Tom Cruise, and
is directed by Steven Spielberg.
Spielberg's previous effort was the
misinterpreted
AI: Arllficial Intel-
ligence.
Spielberg crafts a won-
derful story that not only amuses,
but entertains as well. Newcomer
Colin Farrell lends his amazing
abilities to make Cruise's perfor-
mance much more powerful. Mi-
nority
Report
seems to almost suf-
fer the same fate as
AI,
as the movie
could have been shortened by 30
minutes. Spielberg had a trivial
ending, but further
pursued
to
achieve the ever-sought-after Hol-
lywood
Endin&: While not a tl)ajor
cfowiualf,
it is a mirior flaw that goes
unnoticed by several. I am hoping
that
Minority Reportwill
give
Per-
dition
a
run
for its money come
Oscartime.
Grade:A
When
I
first heard of a •ive ac-
tion version of
Scooby-Doo,
my
body cringed. I really
neglected
to
give it a chance.
However,
my
uncle, being the long time Doo fan
that he is, saw the movie and even-
tually convinced me to go see it.
The movie is quite predictable, yet
has a surprise ending. However
dumb and stupid one might think
this movie is, it can be quite charm-
ing and funny. Freddie Prinze Jr.,
Mathew Lillard, Sarah Michele
Gellar (Buffy) and Linda Cardellini
play the Scooby Gang in a quite
convincing portrayal of the car-
toon version of the same name. The
movie did quite well at the box of-
fice, which nowadays means only
one thing: sequel. All I hope is
that Warner takes their time and
does the s~quel right.
Grade:B-
The generally overlooked
l'ilo
& Sll'tch
is a wonderful example of
how Disney still has its magic. The
movie may follow the stereotypi-
cal plot path of most Disney mov-
ies, but this one is genuinely
unique. While most Disney mov-
ies have clear-cut good guys, and
bad guys, Stitch is the bad guy
that plays on the audience's good
emotions. Tia Carrera and Vmg
Rhames
are the notables who lend
their voices to this wonderful story,
which may serve as a new
generation's version of
ET.
Grade:A
There is one movie that I can't
forget about -
Star Wars Episode
II: Adack
if
the Clones.
I know
everyone has seen the
movie,
so I
will skip the plot

The
story of Clones is one

best. However, Lucas still lacks
the ability to write dialogue with-
out awkwardness and being
clunky. My advice for Lucas is to
take someone aboard to assist him
in writing
Episode III.
Lucas' abil-
ity to interweave characters and
back-stories is good, but he needs
help with his dialogue. This
movif
is also an example of good special
effects: An interesting tidbit is that
none of the clone troopers were
real. They were all digitally cre-
ated. Look for

Men In B/11c1'
goes Green
by
DEBBIE SAWICKI
A&E Contributor
If a student wanted to get
the most bang for his or her buck
last Thursday night, the outdoor
movie was the place to be. The SPC
and College Activities teamed up
once again to deliver a successful
night on the Green. The
movie, Men in Black II, was
premiered
cost-free. All
that was needed for this
free,
fun
event was some-
thing on which to lie or, per-
haps, someone
with
whom
to cuddle.
With a 9
P.M.
start
time, MIIB made an impact
with the crowd. With an at-
tendance record higher
than that of Spiderman or
Harry Potter, the Student
Programming Council and
College Activities is soaring on the
unexpected success. A definite
smash hit, the "Movies on the
Green" concept will be one that will
hopefully stick around for a while
to come.
The outdoor movie idea.
afterall, was a crowd pleaser. The
crowd was impressed with the fact
that Men in Black II has yet to come
out on video.
"I think it's awesome be-
vided. Unless a student has a
cause it's a movie that's not out on
video, so it's not like you could go
out and rent it," exclaimed sopho-
more Diana M. Clark, ''You
can
only
see it here."
"Men in Black 11" was playing
down at the Hyde Park Drive-in
only a few weeks ago. Movie go-
ers would have to pay about six
sweet tooth or a craving for choco-
late, the Movie on the Green
proves to be the best deal for the
starving college student.
With the success
.
of Movies on the
Green, students keep cheering for
more. Although October brings in
the cold weather, another movie is
likely to be shown sometime in the
next two weeks. With
Halloween right around
the
corner,
Sarah
Dowling
hopes to "show
something scary."
This original and inno-
vative idea is getting rave
reviews, especially after
the showing of Men in
Black II.
It
is refreshing
to see that steps are be-
ing taken to increase the
amount activities that are

happening on campus.
"I think
it's
a totally

good thing because it's

cession food. However, at the
weekly Movie on the Green, a stu-
dent can come in his or her paja-
mas for free and enjoy the same
kind of atmosphere, minus scream-
ing five year olds and people kick-
ing the back of chairs. Also, com-
pliments of the co-sponsors, free
soda and free popcorn are pro-
cheered Sophomore Marissa Koch.
Try not to miss October's
Movie. It will most likely be th~ last
one until the spring. Bring a blan-
ket and show support for a new
Marist College activity.
It
is only
with the support and praise of the
students that events such as these
can occur.

The ABC's of a losing season: What went wrong for the Mets
Suddenly it all became clear - the
New York Mets' losing season can
be blamed on a few guys smoking
marijuana. Yup; one of the most
disappointing seasons from one of
the most underachieving teams in
recent memory, and Mets fans ev-
erywhere were willing to chalk it
up to pot. Unfortunately for the
Mets and their brass, it is not that
simple, and their problems are not
that easily solved.
So what went wrong in 2002 for
those New York Mets? Well, it's
as simple as ABC.
A is for Ace, as in the type of
pitcher the Mets do not have.
When the Braves or Yankees or
Diamondbacks go on a
losing
streak, they roll out
an
ace pitcher,
a Clemens or a Schilling or a
Maddaux.
Losing streak over.
The
Mets have no ace, no
one
to stop
the streaks.
And
in 2002, they got
pretty long.
B
is for Benitez, as in

s
ot,
and he never fails to fail. The game
he blew in the front end of a double-
header with the Diamondbacks was
a back-breaker, and it sent the Mets
on a tailspin they did not recover
from.
C is for Clue, as in what Jeremy
Bumitz did not have at the plate all
year. It's not just that he did not
hit the homers or drive in the runs.
It's that he looked utterly helpless
at the plate, like a child trying to hit
major league pitching. By mid-
May, he had no chance.
D is for Disinterest, as in what
was shown by Roberto Alomar all
year long. The Mets thought they
were acquiring
an
all-around super-
star that would make their lineup
go. But Alomar never seemed to
care, not for a minute, and his pro-
duction went the way of his inter-
est. Down.
Eis for Errors. The Mets infield
made way too many of
them.
F is for Fat.
Mo Vaughn,

G is for Great,

early summer rampage completely
psyched the Mets out.
H is for Hammered, as in what
happened to Scott Strickland ev-
ery
time the Mets brought the right-
handed set-up man into the game.
I is for Intimidated, and e'fer since
the arrival of Bobby Valentine, the
Mets failure to protect batters that
were thrown has set a precedent
that the Mets can be intimidated.
J is for Joke, as in what Shawn
Estes was. The gutless puke did
not have the courage to hit Roger
Clemens, or the ability to throw a
strike. Which one hurt the Mets
more is debatable. The best thing
he ever did for the
team
was get
traded.
K is for Kind, as in what the Mets
leaders are to a fault. Nobody

began to go south. Criticize Keith

M is for Massive, as in Mo
Vaughn's weight. And yes, he de-
serves to be picked on twice.
N is for Nothing, as in what Mike
Piazza has left in the tank. This
much is true. Piazza can be the
Mets best hitter, or their catcher.
He can no longer be both.
0 is for Offense, and for the sec-

P is for Pathetic, as in the way

by PETER PALMIERI
Sports Editor
After suffering a 36-0 setback
against Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference
(MAAC)
foe
Duquesne, the Marist College Red
Foxes will be looking to get back
on a winning streak against
Wagner on Saturday.
The loss was the team's first on
the year and prevented the team
from going 3-0 for the first time
since the 1989 season.
Marist last played Wagner dur-
ing the 2000 season, with the Red
Foxes outlasting the Seahawks 34-
31.
Wagner is 3-0 on the season,
posting victories over two MAAC
a l 7-14 victory over Stony Brook.

Wagner is led by running back
Chris Davis, who has rushed for
260 yards in three games (5.3
yards/carry). David Bateman has
been behind center for the
Seahawks the last two games and
his been impressive, completing 1

of22 passes and throwing for three
touchdowns.
On
the other side of the ball, the
Wagner defense leads the North-
east Conference
(NEC)
in rushing
defense, allowing just 52.7 yards/
game on the ground. The team also
leads the NEC in scoring defense,
allowing 21 points in three games.
For Marist, its steady ground at-
tack suffered a setback against
league-leader Duquesne. The
team, which averages 232 yards
on the ground per game, managed
a mere 17 yards on 27 carries
against the Dukes. Chris Price,
who leads the MAAC in rushing
with 113. 7 yards per game and 6.4
yards per
carry,
totaled 13 yards
on seven carries last week, while

yards/game; 5.2 yards/carry) ran
for 10 yards on 10 carries.
